Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6 cable operates at 650 MHz and complies with ANSI/TIA-568-2.D standards, verified through ETL testing. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors support multi-gigabit speeds of 1, 2.5, and 5 Gbps, with 10 Gbps capability up to 160 feet. The cable's construction minimizes near-end crosstalk (NEXT) to maintain signal integrity across long runs.
Power over Ethernet support includes compliance with IEEE 802.3bt and DTE power standards, enabling the cable to deliver up to 100W for devices like VoIP phones and security cameras. The UL-rated wiring (E132276-A) reduces cable heating under high power loads. The cable's UTP (unshielded twisted pair) design provides reliable performance in typical office and data center environments without requiring grounding.
Key Product Advantages
This cable combines high-speed data transmission with robust power delivery in a durable, easy-to-install package. The snagless molded boots prevent the cable from bending at sharp angles at the connector points, reducing stress and potential damage at termination points. This design feature extends the cable's lifespan in frequently reconfigured environments.
Durable Construction
The 50-micron gold-plated connectors resist rust and corrosion, maintaining reliable electrical contact over time. The high-quality PVC jacket provides bend resistance, stress resistance, fray resistance, and damage resistance for long-term use in demanding installations.
- Gold-plated connectors
- Strain relief design
- CMG-rated PVC jacket
Installation Flexibility
The 50-foot length provides ample reach for connecting devices across rooms or between equipment racks. The cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and earlier standards, allowing integration into existing network infrastructures without requiring complete rewiring.
- 50-foot reach
- Backward compatible
- Snagless connector boots
Deployment / Use Cases
This Cat6 patch cable is ideal for connecting network equipment in office environments, data centers, and commercial installations. The yellow color allows for departmental color coding, making cable management and identification straightforward in multi-zone network setups. The 50-foot length is particularly useful for runs between equipment racks, from wall outlets to workstations, or for connecting devices in conference rooms and classrooms.
The cable's 100W PoE support makes it suitable for powering VoIP phones, wireless access points, security cameras, and other PoE-enabled devices without separate power adapters. This reduces cable clutter and simplifies installation in locations where power outlets are limited or inconveniently placed. The cable's compliance with environmental standards including RoHS 2, REACH, and WEEE ensures it meets regulatory requirements for commercial deployments.
Physical Profile
The cable features a bright yellow Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) jacket that provides both visibility and durability. With an approximate weight of 1.45 lb (657.71 g), the cable is lightweight enough for overhead routing while substantial enough to lie flat without excessive coiling. The flexible stranded conductors allow the cable to bend around corners and through conduits without kinking or performance degradation.
